Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 2 Feb 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Monitor IBM’s official channels for patches or security updates addressing CVE-2025-15395 and apply them promptly once available. 2. Restrict user privileges within IBM Jazz Foundation to the minimum necessary, enforcing strict role-based access controls and regularly reviewing user permissions. 3. Implement robust authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 4. Conduct regular audits of user activities and access logs within the Jazz Foundation environment to detect anomalous or unauthorized actions early. 5. Segment the network to limit access to the Jazz Foundation platform only to authorized personnel and systems. 6. Educate development and administrative teams about the risks of privilege escalation and encourage reporting of suspicious behavior. 7. Consider deploying application-level monitoring or endpoint detection solutions that can identify unusual interactions with the Jazz Foundation platform. 8. If feasible, temporarily restrict access to sensitive project areas until patches are applied.

Description

IBM Jazz Foundation 7.0.3 through 7.0.3 iFix019 and 7.1.0 through 7.1.0 iFix005 is vulnerable to access control violations that allows the users to view or access/perform actions beyond their expected capability.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to the integrity of software development processes and project data managed within IBM Jazz Foundation. Unauthorized actions could lead to unauthorized code changes, manipulation of project artifacts, or exposure of sensitive project workflows, potentially resulting in compromised software quality or intellectual property theft. Organizations in sectors with stringent regulatory requirements for software integrity, such as finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, may face compliance risks if unauthorized modifications occur. The medium severity and requirement for some privileges limit the risk to internal or trusted users, but insider threats or compromised credentials could exploit this vulnerability. Disruption to development workflows could delay project timelines and increase operational costs. Given IBM Jazz Foundation’s use in collaborative environments, the impact could extend across multiple teams and departments within affected organizations.

CWE-863Incorrect Authorization (opens in a new tab)
Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #17OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check.
Architecture and Design
Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
